Chapter 306 Our Voice

The words of Hoffenheim captain Chu Zhongtian appeared in many news media on the day of the game.

With less than twelve hours left before the end of the game, Chu Zhongtian's words obviously made the final more interesting.

Is Hoffenheim really confident? Or is he pretending to be mysterious? Or are they not clear about the situation at all?

The outside world has many speculations about Chu Zhongtian's words.

Of course, the Catalan media mocked Chu Zhongtian for being overestimated and actually wanted to defeat Barcelona. Some media accused Chu Zhongtian of disrespecting his opponents and having no sports ethics.

German media strongly support Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim, saying that as a team participating in the finals, they should have such confidence.

In this regard, the performance of Chinese media is not as good as that of German media. There are also doubts among Chinese media. Only a very small number of media believe that Hoffenheim may defeat Barcelona. More media are neutral and think that this is Hoffenheim's psychological tactics. Some media think that Chu Zhongtian's move is inappropriate. On the one hand, it may anger his opponent, and on the other hand, it is too ungraceful. You see, Barcelona didn't say a ill-mouthed Hoffenheim, nor did you show any disdain. You would be looked down upon by others. China is a country of etiquette, but Chu Zhongtian's performance does not fit the image of a country of etiquette. Fortunately, he was promoted to China's national image promotional video!

Just like a CPPCC member used to criticize Liu Xiang for his lack of sports ethics and being too frivolous and arrogant because of his action of jumping onto the podium, there is never a shortage of people in China who have come forward to seek justice for foreigners.

Of course, these people could not interfere with Chu Zhongtian, not only these people in China, but also foreign voices could not interfere with him. On the day of the game, he was in a very calm mood and didn't seem to remember that he threw a bombshell at a press conference yesterday.

※※Thanks to the developed media, Barcelona knew about this that night. Some journalists with good relationships with Barcelona players would mention this when chatting with them. Of course, the reporters did not forget to laugh at Chu Zhongtian's arrogance.

This matter is also discussed within Barcelona.

"Now, they will know how great we are." Alves talked about this with his teammates during the break. "I can't wait to teach those arrogant people a lesson on the court!"

"Don't underestimate the enemy, Daniel Chu is indeed very capable." Harvey reminded from the side.

Alves curled his lips: "Although Guardiola said that, I think he is far worse than you."

Harvey smiled: "This is hard to say."

Alves shrugged: "Okay. Even if he is very capable, Hoffenheim is the only one with enough grades, and no one else can do it. I really understand where this team came from. I said before the game that it would beat us and win the championship."

"Maybe it was their psychological warfare?" Iniesta guessed.

Alves thought about it and found that this is the most likely. No one with a normal IQ could say such words, which is completely illogical. It seems that this should be the other party's psychological tactics, trying to anger us and lose our calmness so that they can make a profit from it.

However, such psychological warfare is useless to us. You have successfully angered us, but have not made us lose our calmness.

Then we will let you know where the final destination of the teams that try to anger or look down on Barcelona - they are all swept into the trash can of history!

Everyone was very hot in the discussion, but Messi was not involved. Whether it was psychological warfare or anything else, he was not interested. Anyway, just make sure of one thing - play with all your strength and then win the game.

Listening to the comments from his teammates, the name "Chu" appears the most frequently. When Guardiola showed them the video of his opponent's game before the game, this person was also the head coach mentioned it.

He is the core of the team, and Guardiola compared him with the opposing Xavi. The difference is that Xavi is relatively low-key, and his status in the team is very important, but his fame is not as great as himself. Iniesta scored the winning goal in the World Cup final, and his fame surpassed Xavi. In Hoffenheim, the only star they can play is Chu Zhongtian, so his reputation is much more famous.

Messi is a little interested in Chu Zhongtian. He just won the FIFA World Football Award last year and is the number one figure in the world football world today.

When he reached his level, he was always full of expectations for those strong enemies. He was eager to face all kinds of challenges, because the competition with ordinary opponents had already made him feel a little overwhelmed - although he did not show it, deep down, he still wanted to compete with those evenly matched opponents.

Just like Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, he always suppressed himself in the La Liga scorer list this season. Although he did not win the best scorer in the end, the competition with such an opponent gave him enough motivation. He is the kind of person who is the stronger the opponent, the stronger the opponent.

Now Guardiola puts Chu Zhongtian and Xavi together and says that as Xavi's teammate, Messi is very clear about Xavi's ability and his importance, although the outside world does not value Xavi very much. If Chu Zhongtian is really a player who can be compared with Xavi, then he will be very interested... He was originally not interested in Hoffenheim entering the final, but if he could choose, he would rather meet Real Madrid in the final. However, eliminating Real Madrid in the semi-finals is also a good result. Bayern Munich is also a very strong opponent, but he did not expect that Hoffenheim, a small team with little fame, would be Hoffenheim in the final.

Now, he found the fun of fighting this team.

"Leo, what do you think?" Iniesta suddenly asked Messi who was tragic next to him.

"Ah?" Messi looked confused and had no idea what his teammates were asking.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw his cute appearance.

Messi blushed amid everyone's laughter.

Harvey laughed and said, "We want to hear what you think of Chu."

Messi suddenly realized. "Oh oh... I think it's a good thing to be confident..."

Alves asked: "Don't you feel despised?"

Messi shook his head: "I don't feel that way...but, I want to beat them."

"Actually, are you very unhappy?" Alves asked.

Messi waved his hand: "No..."

"It's really unhappy!" Alves concluded.

Messi has nothing to say.

Others continued to discuss how to deal with Chu Zhongtian in the game. They expressed various opinions, such as using foul tactics, frequently using small moves, and provoking him after scoring the goal... Messi continued to wander around the world again.

※※※The above scene happened at lunch today.

Unlike Barcelona's hotly discussed opponents Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian, everyone was quiet during lunch. Of course, some people chatted, but there was no big discussion involving the whole team. Many people chose to go back to their room to take a nap after dinner.

After Chu Zhongtian finished eating, he also went for a short nap. He got up half an hour, washed his cold water face, and then went to the gym to warm up for training. The other teammates were also busy with their own affairs. They did not get together to discuss how to deal with Barcelona, ​​and the methods were already discussed at the tactical meeting.

There is really nothing to discuss at this time.

The Hoffenheim players' minds are very simple in this game. They are weaker than Barcelona. They have no other ideas except to strive for victory. They will not consider how to humiliate their opponents and how many goals they want to win.

It was not until after dinner in the afternoon that the Hoffenheim players gathered together in groups of three or three, waiting for the car and chatting.

"Chu, why do you want to defend Messi? You two are in the wrong position..." Ibisevic approached Chu Zhongtian and asked him.

He thought about it. When Rangnick started assigning defensive tasks at yesterday's tactical meeting, he had handed Messi to Sana, but Chu Zhongtian stood up and took the initiative to ask Messi over. Rangnick himself was a little surprised, but he agreed without asking. Sana was responsible for regional defense and did not target a single person.

"Of course Messi's position is relatively alive, but have you never thought that my position is also very alive, Ibi?" Chu Zhongtian asked back.

Ibisevic understood that Chu Zhongtian is indeed a player with a very unfixed position. Although he is a midfielder in the arrangement of troops, he will appear in various positions at any time when the game starts, sometimes he is a midfielder, sometimes a front midfielder, sometimes a full-length forward, and sometimes a second forward. He can still play the role of a central defender. Anyway, he is in good physical condition and cannot run to death, and can appear in any corner of the court.

It is really appropriate to let him see Messi... In fact, Chu Zhongtian also has a private abacus inside.

He is eager to play against world-class experts. He has fought with Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo before, but he has no chance to compete with Messi, the world's number one.

Now that the opportunity has come, how can he let it go?

Now everyone is saying that Messi is invincible and Barcelona is invincible, so he will break these two invincible myths in one game.

No one in this world is invincible.

※※※After five o'clock in the afternoon, the Wimbledon bar was crowded with Wimbledon fans who were about to set off. They were all going to watch the finals. The bar could no longer sit in it, and many people asked for a glass of beer and stood on the street to chat with their companions. This is the norm in British bars, and it is not surprising. Many bars with good business will do this. After all, the location inside is limited, so it is not inconvenient to come out to drink and chat with their glasses.

The Wimbledon Athletics fans who went to watch the game today all wore yellow away jerseys. Because Hoffenheim draws today, they will wear white away jerseys in the game. Wimbledon Athletics does not have white away jerseys, and their away jerseys are yellow. The yellow suddenly looks similar to the white ones, so everyone is wearing yellow away jerseys.

Emily and Wu Qingyu are also among this group of people, and they will go to Wembley Stadium together.

"Drink a little wine to moisten your throat." Emily handed the glass to Wu Qingyu. They ended the last scene yesterday. During the shooting, Emily felt in a trance that she had returned to the era when she was still in school, and Wu Qingyu was also in good condition. The scene was filmed very smoothly. She didn't even have a chance. She found that Wu Qingyu was a young man who was easy to learn. He had been studying hard for the past few months of shooting, which was quite similar to Chu Zhongtian.

"After going back, what are you going to do and continue to go to school?" she asked.

Wu Qingyu shook his head: "I don't plan to go to my current school anymore. I want to be an actor!"

Emily smiled: "If you really have this plan, I think I can do you a favor...Do you like Wimbledon Academy of Art?"

Wu Qingyu's eyes lit up. The shooting here made him know the strength of this college. If he could study in this university... "I like it very much!" He nodded and replied quickly.

"Come here to study here next year, like Chu." Emily patted his shoulder. "It's a pity that you can't play football in the 'Mad Gang'. They are now professional teams and need professional players."

Boss John walked downstairs, and when his fat body pressed on the stairs, the wooden stairs made a creaking sound, as if they were about to break at any time.

Hearing the creaking sound, everyone stopped communicating and turned to look at Boss John, who was like a hill.

"Are you guys ready?" Boss John asked loudly on the last stairs.

"It's ready!!"

Boss John waved his hand: "Very good! Go and cheer Chu!!"

※※※At 5:30 pm, fans appeared on all roads near Wembley Stadium. London police were already in a state of battle and closely watched the situation in every corner. English fans are famous football hooligans, German fans are no less, and the Gateloa are a bunch of extremists. They put their radical political propositions on football. No one knows whether they will do anything out of line.

The security of this game is even comparable to the South African World Cup final.

Wembley strives to show the best final in the world.

Fritz Abel and his companion Daniel were in the crowd. Neither of them could speak English, but this trip did not require much communication. They came by plane at noon today. After arriving in London, they took the map and travel manual and followed the map to find Wembley Stadium, and kept waiting outside. During this period, they met some German fans, all of whom were Hoffenheim fans, so they started chatting happily - Daniel always claimed that he was not a Hoffenheim fan, but a Bayern Munich fan. The people around them didn't care. They were all Germans, and they were the same when they went out, regardless of each other.

Then everyone exchanged their views on Chu Zhongtian's remarks at the press conference.

Daniel seemed very happy: "Of course, the team that can beat our Bayern Munich should have such confidence! I'm very happy Chu can say that, haha!" When he was queuing up to buy tickets, he claimed that he was watching Hoffenheim joke, but now he is full of confidence in Hoffenheim. Abel doesn't know what he is thinking. Maybe it's because it's all Hoffenheim fans here, is he worried about being beaten?

Other Hoffenheim fans did not agree. Some people agreed with Daniel's statement and patted his shoulder hard to express their agreement and intimacy.

In addition, some people were worried and felt that it would be easy to anger their opponents by saying this now. Originally, they expected Barcelona to underestimate the enemy - this was the only way they could think of for Hoffenheim's possible defeat of Barcelona. Relying on their opponent's underestimation, they caught the opponent off guard.

Now, after Chu Zhongtian said this, Barcelona will definitely not underestimate the enemy. They will only think about how to tear this arrogant and arrogant team to pieces.

Abel belongs to the type of fans who are very confident in Hoffenheim.

"So what if they are angry? If they are angry, they will lose their calmness. This is also our opportunity. I don't think we don't have a chance. There is absolutely no chance in this world. Barcelona is very strong, but we are not weak either. If we say we are also a team that participates in the finals!"

After he said this, everyone really felt that it would be impossible to be so unconfident in their team.

In the stands, the team still needs their cheering. If they lack confidence, the shouting sound will lose momentum. If they lose to Barcelona in terms of momentum, the players on the court will soon feel that - if even their own people don't believe them, how can they create miracles?

"I am a Munich. I think Hoffenheim itself is a miracle. When they were still in the second division, I began to pay attention. During that winter break, Hoffenheim's performance was not good, ranking at the bottom of the league, and finally got promoted to the first division. Later, in the first season of the first division, how many people could think that they would win the championship? They succeeded. Now this season, how many people would think that they could enter the Champions League final? So Hoffenheim is a team that can create miracles. I think our job is very simple, just cheer for them in the stands and then expect the miracle to appear."

Speaking of this, Abel suddenly felt his shoulder being slapped.

A woman's voice rang behind him: "Well said, young man!"

He turned around and saw a middle-aged woman carrying a Hoffenheim flag standing behind him.

"Aunt Koniriya!" Someone recognized this woman. She is the leader of Hoffenheim fans and has been interviewed by many media. Her home is a "famous destination" where many tourists from all over the world compete to take photos.

"This young man is right!" Koniriya looked at Abel and asked, "What's your name, young man?"

"Abel, Fritz. Abel..." Abel replied.

"Abel, you're right. We should really have confidence in our own team. At Wembley tonight, we want the players to hear us!"

Koniriya waved the flag in her hand and made a sound of rushing.
